Hooking up the MultiMix 8 USB 
 
This diagram will help you get the MultiMix 8 USB hooked up and 
ready to go. The equipment you use depends on personal 
preference and on whether you’re performing live or recording. 
For example, you’ll see below that the MAIN MIX OUT can be 
routed to a recording device for recording, or to a PA system for 
live performance.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Using Proper Cables 
 
When connecting instruments and other equipment to the 
MultiMix, it’s important that you use the appropriate types of  
cables. Here are some simple but important guidelines: 
 
For the mic inputs, use XLR cables. 
For the line inputs and all other 1/4” connections, use 1/4” 
mono TRS cables. 
Use stereo RCA cables for the 2-track in and out. 
Be sure to follow the 
guidelines for which cables to 
use (further down this page) 
and the procedure for setting 
levels (on the next page) 
before you begin mixing.

Use a USB cable to connect the USB port to a computer.  Do 
not use a USB hub, as hubs can introduce timing glitches in 
USB communication. 
 
 
Setting Levels 
 
Before you can begin mixing different audio sources with your 
MultiMix, you must set the level for each channel you’re using. 
This helps to prevent distortion and clipping. The idea is to get the 
strongest signal possible without clipping. Here’s how: 
 
1.  Turn the channel level control to the 12:00 position. 
2.  Turn the AUX SEND and GAIN controls all the way down, 
and turn the EQ knobs to the center detent (you’ll feel a click). 
 
3.  Connect the source of  the signal to the channel’s input. 
 
4.  Play the instrument at a normal level and adjust the channel’s 
gain slowly until the PEAK LED lights. 
 
5.  Slowly reduce the channel’s gain until the PEAK LED no 
longer lights when you play. 
 
6.  If  you need to apply EQ, do so and check the PEAK LED to 
make sure it still does not light as you play.
